Yeah, but it's not just about price. I suspect there's a substantial quality difference somewhere, too. Which doesn't matter much if it's only used occasionally, granted. It does matter, though, if you spend entire weekends in the shop. I'll need to have a look at those before I buy.

I get old rugs from friends and relatives and cut and shut them to suit my needs, when they get too grubby out with the old and scrounge a new, placed over a concrete floor they provide a cushion and some insulation. cheap and effective.

Those Halfords mats work a treat. The guy in the local Halfords wondered why they were selling like hotcakes after the feature about them in the WT magazines.
I have mine laid over a thick rubber mat, old household carpet and then the fatigue mats.
Easy to clean up and if lost/damaged, can get replaced.

Must go, off to Halfords for another set!
